Review Homepage

"In Skara, truly, we find an extraordinary tale, thousands of years in the making, shaped by a master’s hands."
– Prof Ari Berk, Central Michigan University

"Andrew Appleby has a remarkable imagination. Skara is wholly original and surprising – a one-of-a-kind work that entertains even as it dazzles."
- Ken McGoogan, Author
